Lot 7
RICARDO BAROJA NESSI (Riotinto, Huelva, 1871 - Vera de Bidasoa, Navarre, 1953).Peones camineros" ("Road workers"), 1925-1928.Oil on cardboard.Signed with monogram and dated. Titled and dated on the back.Provenance: private collection of Doña Teresa Cañaréis de Marshall, heiress of Enrique Granados, a well-known Spanish musician who was a contemporary of Ricardo Baroja. Both people moved in the same artistic circle of the time, which establishes a solid historical traceability of the present work.Size: 56.5 x 37 cm; 64 x 45 cm (frame).Ricardo Baroja's passion for the landscapes of the inland villages of Spain, some of which were even lost, is demonstrated in the present work. At the beginning of the 20th century, the Huelva-born artist travelled the country from inn to inn, either for his work as a painter or for his hobby as a hiker. There he immortalised the inn maids and muleteers who transported him, the taverns where he was fed and the boarding houses where he stayed overnight. Through his particular technique, agile and swift, Baroja captured like no one else the popular life of the most inhospitable villages in Spain, and his unique and highly identifiable style.A painter, engraver and writer of the Generation of '98, and brother of Pío Baroja, he was self-taught. Developing a style contrary to the aesthetic taste of the artistic juries of the beginning of the century, Baroja took part in the Bilbao Modern Art Exhibition from 1900 onwards, and exhibited his work in different places, preferably San Sebastián and Madrid. Around 1900-1906 he devoted himself to etching, and came to be considered the best Spanish master in this field after Goya, standing out from the outset as a profound portraitist, the author of beautiful etchings and scenes of popular life, somewhere between Goyaesque and lyrical. He also devoted himself to writing at the same time. In 1903 he founded, in collaboration with Pablo Picasso and Francisco de Asís Soler, the "Arte Joven" group. In 1928 he was appointed professor at the National School of Graphic Arts. However, following a traffic accident, the artist lost an eye and was forced to give up painting, concentrating from then on on literature. Gradually he took up brushwork again, but he hardly ever painted from life. During the Civil War he lost contact with his brother, who fled to France, and he earned his living by painting. After the war he continued to paint, although only in summer, and to write. From 1940 onwards he again held exhibitions in the art galleries of San Sebastian, Bilbao and Madrid, obtaining great commercial success. In San Sebastián he founded, together with Martiarena, the Guipúzcoa Artistic Association. In 1952, a year before his death, his success was confirmed with the sale of all his paintings at an exhibition held in San Sebastian. Ricardo Baroja is represented in the Provincial Museum of Lugo, the Fine Arts Museums of Bilbao and Álava, and the San Telmo Museum in San Sebastián, among others.

Giorgio Morandi (1890-1964)Natura morta con il panneggio a sinistra (Vitali 31; Cordaro p.35) Etching, 1927, on wove paper, the second, final state, signed, dated and numbered 32/40 in pencil, with wide margins, in good condition, framedPlate 246 x 350mm. (9 3/4 x 13 3/4in.); Sheet 330 x 435mm. (13 x 17 1/8in.)Footnotes:ProvenancePrivate Collection, Italy (acquired circa 1960-1970)Thence by descent from the above to the present ownerOne of Morandi's finest etched works, Natura morta con il panneggio a sinistra, was produced in 1927 and reproduces the subject painted by the artist twice that same year (Vitali 1977, cat. 115-116). Morandi generally worked directly from his subjects and etched everything on a plate at one time. So there are a few states of his prints. Only two states were made of this subject, with a limited edition of forty impressions and some artist's proofs. The present impression is part of the second state, in which Morandi added oblique signs on the bottom left of the neck of the central bottle.His methodical use of the etched line to create shapes, volume and density of his marks, by hatching and cross-hatching alone without a descriptive outline, is clearly inspired by the great old master etchers Rembrandt and Goya, whom he profoundly admired.Natura morta con il panneggio a sinistra is one of his most accomplished large compositions of his celebrated still-lifes etchings. The gradual intensity of the etched line shaded surfaces is contrasted with areas completely untouched by the needle, creating a highly atmospheric chiaroscuro effect which Morandi named bianco assoluto (absolute white).Giorgio Morandi is considered the most outstanding Italian printmaker of the twentieth century. Unlike many other artists, his practice as a printmaker was not just a supplement to painting or an additional means of income. Etching had played a significant part of his artistic practice since the beginning of his career. He made his first etching in 1912, having taught himself the technique by reading a treatise of 1660 by another Bolognese artist Odoardo Fialetti. Morandi made very few prints until the 1920s, and only a total of 138 in all. Eighty of his prints were made in the short period between 1927-1933 and only a small number after the Second World War.Morandi held the Chair in Printmaking at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna from 1930 until 1956.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: * AR* VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.AR Goods subject to Artists Resale Right Additional Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
